India will mark its 79th Independence Day on Friday (August 15), a day that resonates deeply with the pride, history, and unity of the nation. It commemorates the hard-fought freedom from colonial rule in 1947 and honours the sacrifices of countless freedom fighters who devoted their lives to the cause of independence. The day is observed with patriotic fervour across the country, with the Prime Minister hosting the national flag at the Red Fort in New Delhi.
